My second dnd character also made two orcs explode, after which she cooked part of one to near perfection. One party member refused to eat. 'That's fine. I'm not mad. Whatever. '

Bio

Sup!

Gonna use this for a quick overview of my rp interests. People can pm me at any time, really.
- 1x1's only, unless it's a group rp with a really small amount of people and not too fast-paced.
- Fantasy, both modern and otherwise
- Action, love it
- Adventure, yaaaaas
- Horror, though not all kinds of it. I do love the supernatural stuff, though
- I'm not very good at sci-fi, but willing to try if you're okay with me not being great at it.

Yeah, relatable. For me the issue is that at some point I have characters for almost every questline and having too many questlines done by too many characters just makes it feel a wee bit less like that one character's accomplishment to me, so new characters often strand because I'm just dicking around with them.
@pugbutter Have to say it's definitely something I'd love to do. But I do think I want to do a few studies first. Both metal and folds have not gotten the attention they deserve in the past few weeks.
In a few weeks my current schoolyear's over, so during the holidays I'll certainly have plenty of time for a commission like this.
I'll PM you then, alright?

@JBRam2002 That is a very big compliment, thank you! I have to admit that having the confidence to charge more for my work is still a tough thing.
And glad to hear that!

@Drazah Very glad to hear that!
@Pugbutter Thanks! The B&W is going to be colored, by the way; it's just easier for me to adjust things while in greyscale. However, a B&W as an end product is also definitely possible, or maybe something with very minimal coloring.

Uniforms and military gear: I'll have to have proper reference, since I'm not very well-versed in military history myself and might use the wrong pictures as reference if I just look something up, but with the right reference it should be pretty doable.
I've done a few armors before, so while I'd definitely do a few more quick metal studies first to get back into it some more, I don't think it'd be a problem.

Just to make sure I understand correctly; you're talking about a digital piece, but with a border drawn around it, right?
Updated with a new plot
Glad to hear that!
@TheMusketMan That's true, yeah. And a lot of that also leans quite heavily on a specific type of evil, I feel so it also doesn't always fit the type one might want to try out.
Having said that, there's definitely some fun in having a character do decent things but just kind of 'roleplay' them as just doing it for money, fame and attention, while everyone still treats them like a hero.
@TheMusketMan Dulza sounds pretty badass!
I have to admit I'm godawful at playing evil characters; they turn around eventually :')
Tried it as a 1x1, but I think it can also work well as a group RP, so here goes.

They managed to get it done. The Venetian island of Poveglia, infamous for being a dumpingground for plague victims and later for the mental asylum where horrible things allegedly happened, is now the location for a fantastic state of the art resort and it’s gruesome history is used as a selling point for tourists.
During the building of the thing, at least five builders have gone missing, but even towards their co-workers and family this a been covered up through clever lies.
Now it’s done and to celebrate there has been a competition that will decide who the very first visitors are going to be. A small number of winners will have the resort all to themselves for three weeks.
However, once they are there it turns out that things aren’t as great as expected and when the boat doesn’t show back up on time, they have a problem.
---
So basically this would be a horror RP in which the hauntings slowly become more severe. I'm thinking of around 6-8 characters in the resort, though a few more would be okay.
To keep everyone on the same page in terms of how bad the hauntings are at any given point, I'll keep tabs on that.

Anyone interested?
<Snipped quote by Piddle>

I mean, I'm not a real Hagenees, since I'm from Voorburg originally and currently living in Leidschenveen. But I live like 200 meters from the Kyocera stadion, so I guess even the most Haags thing isn't even in the Hague anymore. But yeah, for real. I already noticed you were Dutch, the name on your art gives it away.

I think something to keep in mind when writing shy characters is that... I wanna say 'nobody cares about them' which sounds harsh and is not entirely true in the sense that people do care about them, it's just that shy people tend not to get noticed.

Because it's a self insert, because it's the easiest thing to write, because they are lazy, or because they want their character to be the center of attention (which is somewhat paradoxical because you're writing a shy character that doesn't like attention).


Haha, we're in the same boat there; Assen mostly has the TT going for it, yet the racetrack itself is in Witten :')
Yeah, the name kind of does, doesn't it :')

And I think you really hit the nail on the head here. From what I've seen there's a lot of 'please put effort into me' going on with those characters; wanting people to reach out to the character even when the character pushes them away several times, without realizing people aren't going to put that kind of effort into a fictional character they have no investment in.

----
Another thing that irks me about very needy characters is; when I write a particularly empathic character, the sort where I can't ignore such a shy creature without breaking character, and someone keeps making things happen to their character so that he or she needs to be comforted, so that the rp more or less revolves around them.
Ohh I have so many Elder Scrolls characters. I often make ones that don't really go anywhere, but the ones that did even made it into some RP's.
My most notable ones are;

Corin Darbon, a Breton Battlemage who's family had been quite corrupt, resulting in them getting themselves the wrong enemies and being attacked one night. Corin survived and ended up as a member of a group of hunters. A lot of traveling, fighting with bandit groups and adapting to his new life later he ended up in Skyrim where he managed to rebuild both fame and fortune.
Just don't mention his height.

Adrian Brunfaire, a Breton mage. A pretty friendly and pacifistic guy. Skyrim's attitude towards wizard has resulted in him being a bit secretive, but once he notices he can safely talk about magic around someone, the young scholar and researcher won't shut up.
Really just a big nerd.

Eriseya, my Altmer Dragonborn. Oddly insecure for an Altmer and fairly down to earth. She's very close to Lydia, isn't too loved by the Thalmor and is a close childhood friend of my other Altmer character.
She's a onehanded warrior, since I also love playing against type.

Serion, the other Altmer. Unsurprisingly, much like his friend he's not a big friend of the Thalmor. He is also a member of the Dawnguard, close friends with Serana and a tank, since the height of Altmer characters makes them really imposing looking in heavy armor : D

Faras Greendale, a Bosmer thief and former assassin. Suave, not necessarily unfriendly but definitely not loyal. Also, hypocritically enough, he's pretty fed up with being betrayed all the bloody time.
Good archer, also pretty good at nicking things and stabbing people.
